Seismic assessment of vulnerable reinforced concrete buildings in Turkey is a challenging task. Considering both the size of the problem and the inadequacy of inelastic analysis methods in the seismic evaluation of large building stocks, it is evident that simple and convenient methods are required. A displacement-based seismic assessment procedure, employing equivalent linear analysis in combination with capacity principles, is developed herein. Briefly, the procedure consists of identifying the expected locations of inelastic behavior and reducing the stiffness of members corresponding to these locations. The procedure is implemented on three case study buildings in order to compare the results with the nonlinear static (pushover) analysis results. Comparisons are based on axial forces and moment capacities of columns, distribution of the locations exhibiting inelastic behavior, chord rotations at the member ends and the base shear capacities of buildings. It is observed that the results obtained by the two procedures are sufficiently close.

A drift capacity prediction model for retrofitted reinforced concrete columns ÖZCAN, OKAN; Binici, Barış (2022-03-01) Seismic assessment of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings heavily relies on the deformation capacity predictions of members. Similarly, the prediction of the deformation capacity of retrofitted RC columns has the utmost importance for seismic retrofit design. In this paper, a new unified drift model is proposed in order to estimate the rotation capacity of RC columns retrofitted with concrete jacketing, steel jacketing and fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) wrapping. In order to generate the model, an extensive ...
An approximate procedure for estimating the member demands in mid-rise reinforced concrete buildings Akpinar, Ugur; Binici, Barış; Yakut, Ahmet; Tuncay, Kağan (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-01-01) Seismic assessment of mid-rise reinforced concrete buildings is important for urban seismic risk reduction. Nonlinear time history analysis is the state-of-the-art analysis tool for this purpose. However, the number of such buildings may reach to several tens of thousands in metropolitan cities of earthquake prone countries. This necessitates faster yet sufficiently accurate assessment methods to mitigate the seismic risk. In this study, a simple and efficient approach is developed and validated for the ass...
Probabilistic methods for the estimation of potential seismic damage: Application to reinforced concrete buildings in Turkey Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Yücemen, Mehmet Semih (2010-01-01) Three probabilistic methods, for the prediction of potential seismic damage to low and mid-rise reinforced concrete buildings in Turkey, are presented As the first method. "best estimate" damage probability matrices for each seismic zone are developed by combining expert opinion and the damage statistics compiled from the recent earthquakes occurred in Turkey. Second method involves a reliability-based model, which treats the earthquake force and seismic resistance as random variables This model expresses p...
Seismic risk prioritization of residential buildings in Istanbul Yakut, Ahmet; Sucuoğlu, Haluk (2012-09-01) A large scale seismic risk prioritization study was conducted for medium-rise, gravity-designed reinforced concrete residential buildings in Istanbul. The implemented procedure was based on evaluating selected building parameters that could be easily observed or measured during a systematic sidewalk survey. The survey was actually conducted on approximately 100,000 buildings in the six subprovinces of Istanbul over the period 20042009 by a large team of trained surveyors. The collected data were processed t...
Seismic vulnerability assessment using regional empirical data Yakut, Ahmet; Yucemen, M. Semih (2006-08-01) This article presents a procedure developed for the seismic performance assessment of low- to mid-rise reinforced concrete buildings in Turkey. The past performance of reinforced concrete buildings during major earthquakes have been compiled and analysed comprehensively using statistical procedures in order to study the empirical correlation between the significant damage inducing parameters and the observed damage. A damage database of nearly 500 representative buildings experiencing the 1999 Kocaeli and D...
